Oppenheimer analysts reiterated their OUTPERFORM rating on Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) and raised the price target $16 from $234 to $250.

“We view Amazon.com as one of the few large-cap opportunities to have secular exposure to eCommerce, which is gaining share from off-line retailers,” noted an Oppenheimer analyst.

“In addition, AMZN continues to gain share of US eCommerce with its deep product selection, low-cost express delivery through its Prime program, and breakthrough success of its Kindle e-reader platform. Furthermore, AMZN's ability to operate at a substantial negative inventory position and the low capital requirements of the business should help to drive strong free cash flow growth.”

The $250 price target applies a 17x multiple on Oppenheimer’s 2018 non-GAAP EPS estimate of $25.84, discounted back 10% to 2013.
